The Practice of the Noble Great Mayuri
I prostrate myself before the noble Mahamayuri!
[Performing] the rituals that were proclaimed earlier, [imagine] a multicolored lotus and the Moon. From the green syllable maṁ, Mahamayuri appears with a green body, three faces, and six arms. Each face has three eyes. The right and left faces are black and white. The three right hands, in sequence, hold a peacock feather, an arrow, and form the mudra of supreme giving. Similarly, the three left hands hold a bundle of jewels, a bow, and a vessel on a lotus. She is adorned with various ornaments. Young and youthful, she possesses the experience of charm. Sitting on a seat made of the moon, she possesses the rays of moonlight and sits with her legs half crossed. She possesses the adornment of Amoghasiddhi on her head. Meditate on yourself in this way.
Then, on the [discs] of the moon, which are on the crown of the head, neck, heart, and navel, in accordance with the sequence, four syllables [appear]: “oṁ āḥ māṁ hūṁ.” Having fully meditated on this, perform the emission and collection [of rays of light]. And then recite the mantra:
oṁ mahā māyurī vidya rājñī hūṁ hūṁ phaṭ phaṭ svāhā
This concludes the sadhana of Mahā-Māyurī.
